There he goes! Pope Francis boards his plane for the long return flight to Rome’s Fiumicino Airport. Safe travels, Papa Francisco! But before he left, we heard a Very Big Announcement: At the end of the Closing Mass, it was announced that the 9th World Meeting of Families will be held in 2018 in Dublin, Ireland.

Pope Francis’ Message to Victims of Clergy Sexual Abuse

Last updated on: September 27, 2015 at 2:47 pm By Kathy Schiffer

This morning Pope Francis met with five victims of clerical sexual abuse–three women and two men, adults who had been abused as minors–at St Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia. He spoke with them individually and together as a group, and then invited them to join with him in prayer. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia was the flashpoint for the clergy abuse crisis in the United States. It was in that archdiocese that two grand jury reports, in 2005 and 2011, cited... Read more

What If the World Really Ended on September 28?

Last updated on: September 27, 2015 at 12:24 pm By Kathy Schiffer

If you’re watching the news, you may be looking forward to a total lunar eclipse on Sunday evening, September 27. The first moon of Autumn is called a Harvest Moon–but this year, because the moon’s orbit brings it closer to Earth than usual, it’s called a “super moon.” What that means–what I got to see, to my delight, at about 6:30 this morning!–is that it appears 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than normal. WXYZ-TV in Detroit gives this information... Read more

NFL’s Evan Rodriguez and Wife Reject Abortion: “Who Are We to Determine a Baby’s Life?”

Last updated on: September 26, 2015 at 8:53 pm By Kathy Schiffer

Evan Rodriguez is a tough guy–tough not just because he’s played football for the Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buckaneers. Rodriguez is tough because he’s willing to protect and nurture precious unborn life,then face the pain of loss, because he knows that his unborn daughter will likely live only a few days or a few hours after birth. Rodriguez and his wife Olivia are expecting a little girl in December. Back in July, doctors informed them... Read more

What Pope Francis May Have Seen Inside the Vatican Embassy

Last updated on: September 23, 2015 at 12:56 pm By Kathy Schiffer

Pope Francis slept last evening at the Vatican Embassy on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington DC, more formally called the Apostolic Nunciature to the United States. International travel is tiring, to be sure; but if by chance the pontiff woke during the night and went padding around in his slippers, perhaps he walked down the staircase from his third floor bedroom to the second floor reception room, where he may have found his way to this: It’s a tapestry of Noah, giving...

Saudi Teenager Sentenced to Death by Crucifixion

Last updated on: September 21, 2015 at 10:57 am By Kathy Schiffer

A Saudi Arabian teenager has been condemned to death by crucifixion. He was apparently targeted because his uncle, Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, has been openly critical of the Saudi government. Ali Mohammed al-Nimr was only seventeen years old when he was arrested in 2012 in his home country of Saudi Arabia. The teen was accused of illegal protesting and gun possession, although no evidence was presented to prove the weapons charge. The corruption of the Saudi criminal justice system is evident: The youth was... Read more
